pekingese?????

Question

iv reada bit about this breed on the net but id like some info on someone that owns one. are they ok left in the house for 6hrs whilst im in work etc etc

Answer 1

Any dog is okay left alone for 6 - 8 hours MAX.

Are you planning on getting a puppy or an adult? If you get a puppy you would have to have someone come during lunch to take him/her out. With puppies they can only hold their bladder 3-4 hours at a time. If you have an adult, they should be fine for that long until you get home.

Here is my Pekes day:
- Gets up and goes outside around 5:30 AM
- Eats his breakfast (1/2 can of wet food/dry food and water left out all day)
- We leave around 7 and we block off the kitchen with a baby gate and he is in there with his dry food/water/toys/blanket until 3PM. So I guess thats about 8 hours.
- Before I even take off my coat when I get home, I take him outside.

And then he just barks whenever he has to go outside again. He is the first dog I've EVER owned and I just love him! He loves to lay on his back with all fours up in the air. If you get a male, I suggest neutering them between 6-8 months or you'll have him marking in the house! Sometimes Gizmo (my peke) marks in the house, but not often. I've never met a female Peke but I am sure they are even more loving!

As for grooming theres alot. We brush him about 2 times a week. Watch for matts behind the ears! And we take him to a groomer about once every 3 months? I think. Once his hair gets too long thats when I take him. To petsmart for about 50$. They do nails, haircut, ears and a bath. I keep his coat in a short puppy cut.

For food I feed him Mighty Dog (in the can). I take one can, cut the food in half and he eats half in the morning and half at night. (6AM & 5PM). I keep a little dry food out all day just incase he gets a little hungry, and also water out all day for him.

I never Crate trained my Peke because we have a mediumish sized kitchen (which is tiled) and just put a baby gate up by the entrance. He does fine in there with his toys and blanket. When he was a puppy my Grandpa would come during lunch to take him out (we used to have a cage in there when he was a pup so he wouldnt pee in the kitchen). sometimes my grandpa would stay and take him out and play and sometimes he would be home when I came home from school! So if you have someone that can come during lunch .. or if you live close that would be awsome!

I think I've covered everything. There are alot of Pekes that are in shelters today. You can still get a puppy (6-9months) that is ALREADY POTTY TRAINED at a shelter! A pup that is potty trained?! That right there is amazing to me LOL.

You can go to Petfinder ^^ and search in your state for some pekes! The ones in that link are in NJ (cause thats where I am) but just go to the left and change the state to find some in your area.

Or also, try googling some breeders if you really want a pup. or "Pekingnese Rescue in (your state)"

Oh, and here is a couple pics of my 6 year old male Pekingnese Gizmo! :]]]

After taking the $30 bottle for months my Vet subsequently instructed me I would simply supply him a entire benadryl twice a day, once in the morning and once at night time.

Answer 4

Pekes are the BEST!!!! we own three pekes and one boston TERROR :) we have a black one, a white one and a sable/brown one.

they love to play in a yard - as they get older they have a bit of trouble jumping on high furniture or beds -

much of the first answerers responses are thing that i would have said, so i dont really have that much more to say -

we keeps ours trimmed, but still have to brush them -

one extra thing, pekes are known as the "LIons" because of their fearless nature. they truly DO NOT UNDERSTAND that big mean dogs could EAT them - they are fiercly loyal, and will show displeasure of people that they do not like after their departure -

pekes are house dogs and are fine all day in the house - be ready to a jumping playful puppy when you get home though!

Answer 5

yes they are great but i would put it in his kennel in till its potty trained there really easy to potty train and make sure you take him out right before you leave.
